Hey Everypony :3 My name is Selfie Snapshots, aka The Selfie Pony usually at cons I just take selfies, and with this con being my 5th Selfie Quest, I have decided...to do something new. :3 I present:
Equestrian Idol: A My Little Karaoke Competition Hosted by me and Co Hosted by Chi Chi So What is this Anyways? Basically in the last "Big Update" the MLK team came out with it added a tournament mode. 16 Players will go on stage, and battle each other, 1V1 Duels to The Fandoms Songs and show songs. During a battle the Player with the higher Score will advance to the next round. Note: This Panel will be Recorded and Live Streamed (maybe) so keep that in mind as well. This will be done Bracket Style Tournament. The winner will be Crowned THE PRINCESS OF KARAOKE.
So Where and When is this?
BronyCan 2016 Day 3 (Sunday) 2 pm In the Large Theater
How Do I enter? On day two of Bronycan 2016, Look for the Equestrian Idol Booth where I (The Selfie Pony) and Chi Chi will be doing Sign ups. In the Vendors Hall (Time will be added later) ***IMPORTANT*** Only 16 Contestants Can Sign up (So make Haste to that Sign Up) Rules:
All Players must be able to go on Stage in front of a crowed and sing your heart out. (Not Recommended if you have Stage Fright)
Anypony May enter, no matter the skill of singing, (Have fun with it)
A knowledge of the Songs on MLK is Recommended, but not Required. (Trust me, your going to wana know XD )
Have fun with it, and don't stress and remember to always Horse around.
More News will be updated via youtube on on my Twitters @TheSelfiePony Update: Q/a Video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1KNCu577IQ See you there <3

Hey there! I'm Fisher, one of the staff in the Theming department for BronyCAN, and I've got a small problem. Long story short, I've ended up with an extra 3-day pass for BronyCAN and I'm looking to sell it for $54 ($5 savings off the normal price).
I believe the $59 credit could also be used to upgrade an existing registration to a higher tier, or if you wanted to buy pre-convention merchandise like T-shirts or plushies, but I'm not 100% sure.
PM me or reply to this post if you're interested. Thanks!

So I'm nearly halfway towards a 100 respondents for my new Pointless Ponies survey. This is a reminder that the survey will continue to be open until August 13th. I hope to run this game at BronyCAN on August 19th-21st in Richmond, BC.
Again, these are general knowledge questions and it's sort of an open book survey in which you can look up the answers online through places like the MLP Wiki or the IMDb.
The reason I give 100 seconds for each question is that if I didn't have a time limit, then people would take their time to get all the answers and that defeats the purpose a bit.
Once again, the survey is open until August 13th:

Thank you,
StatManDan

Greetings,
I hope everyone in the USA is having a good 4th of July Weekend and those in Canada are having a great Canada Day Weekend.
Survey #3 is still active: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2850155/Pointless-Ponies-3
However, I have launched a brand new survey that will also be active until August 13th, 2016. Of course, the purpose for two active surveys at once is so I can mix and match the questions that I shall use when I host the game at BronyCAN a week later. Again, I am hoping for at least 100 respondents for each of these surveys. The more the merrier.
Here is Survey #4: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2897108/Pointless-Ponies-4
I have made one adjustment to the surveys. For the questions that have multiple parts to it, I've increased the time limit to five minutes for all six or seven parts of those questions. The remaining questions are still timed at 100 seconds.
To repeat, both Surveys #3 and #4 will close on Saturday, August 13th, 2016.
Thank you.

Well, my first ever panel has come and gone and apart from a few hiccups early on, I feel it was a success. The hiccups came when I wasn't given a laptop to operate my game board. I ultimately had to go back to my room to get my Mac and run the game from that. Since this is on PowerPoint, I prefer to use it on PCs since the board runs quicker. As it was, the board ran fine on Friday night. There was also a hiccup during play when I found out I hyperlinked to the wrong slide on one question. Fortunately, it didn't ruin the game and I continued on.
Friday night was mostly about persistence as panels do have their problems from time to time. Still, people did give the game and panel positive reviews and for that I'm thankful. I'm also thankful to the crew at MLP-MSP for giving me the opportunity to run this panel (my 1st in the 15 cons I've been to). I hope to do this again at BronyCAN and/or Ponyville Ciderfest later this year.
With that in mind, I have created a new survey with new questions: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2850155/Pointless-Ponies-3
This one will run until Saturday, August 13th. Again, I'm hoping for at least 100 respondents for these surveys. It's challenging, but then that's the point for these "Pointless Surveys".
Enjoy, StatManDan

Omg BronyCan is over and by far the best weekend of my life. I had so much adventures and fun and ill miss everyone that I have met but I know for sure that in a year we will all be back together. I know a few of us are shedding liquid pride tonight Because we know that the time to make memories is over but The memories will stay and brighten our future. We all get picked on for liking what we love but what we need to remember is that any pain one of us is going though were are all going though it together because we are bronys and we are always there for each other. Never forget the friends you made this weekend because we are all alike, we all might be different but we all have one thing in common. A love for a great show. So stay united Bronys and pegasisters for together we can help each other though thick and thin. I love you all and thank you all for what you have helped me with. One last thing, Isn't it great to be different.
Love, Skitter Run

Hi all!
It's highly likely that the rest of the staff are currently asleep, so I'll come on and express a sentiment I know they all share.
Thank you for making BronyCAN 2013 awesome!
There are so many people we need to thank, but the attendees are top of the list. We budgeted for around 450-500 people, and around 820 walked through the door. For a first year con in Vancouver, that's incredible. The con wouldn't have been successful without your support, so you get first praise. The attendees started the con by invading the stage and dancing, and ended the con by cheering the roof off. Personally, I thought you lot looked like you were on the world's biggest sugar high.
A big thank-you also to our special guests, who were fantastic. They were enthusiastic, a ton of fun, and patient when things were sometimes late or didn't go quite to plan (that's live events for you!). A personal shout-out from me to Lee Tockar, who was everywhere helping us out, whether on the main stage, hanging out in con ops, or stepping up to do media interviews for us. Thanks also to the various show staff who slid into the con incognito. (I think everyone knows Sibsy was around, but did you happen to spot any others? I can think of another name you would definitely recognise. )
Huge, huge, unrelenting thank-you to the Vancouver furry community, who stepped up when our at-con reg system was delivered to us non-functioning and helped us out with tech and hardware support. Special thanks to Aphinity (who is on both BronyCAN and Vancoufur staff, and basically engineered the whole thing), Jason (one of the Vancoufur techies) and Poniverse's very own Feld0, who also saved our asses multiple times when the new server started misbehaving at the con. Numerous other staff members were from the local furry community, and they did a great job helping us get started.
Special mention to Trapa Civet, the unsung background hero of many a con, for all his advice and support. Trapa's been founding, running or otherwise supporting conventions for a long time, and his involvement was invaluable. The radio kit we were using is his, the reg system software we use is his, some of the hardware our reg team used is his, so big thanks to him also. He unfortunately came back from a trip to Europe the day after the con, so we couldn't drag him on stage and thank him in person.
And everyone should thank our small army of volunteers for their dedication and hard work. The local (and less local) bronies that came to the con as redshirts were essential in keeping the con running. They were professional, cheerful, and worked their butts off. I'll see if I can get something nice for you guys for the Saturday meetup.
Finally, a thank-you to our community artists for all their really great work, as well as an apology to those few whose contributions never made the charity auction. There was a small mix-up and a few pieces got left behind. We're hoping to do something with those after the con. That said, the auction was still a success, and with the help of our contributors, we made over $7000 for the local children's hospital, which is something to be proud of.
And on a personal note, thank you to everyone who turned up for my panel. I was a bit worried about how it would go, given the complete failure of my embedded video content, but the turnout was better than I could have expected, and we all had a ton of fun.
The feedback we've had from attendees has blown us away. We're really glad that you all enjoyed the con, and we were amazed by its popularity. We had both pony and non-pony news networks attend the con, and I think we're up to 4 TV stations that have featured us as an item. It's really encouraging to see just how enthusiastic people were for the convention, and we promise to put all our effort into making our next endeavour bigger, better and brighter.
I hope I haven't missed anyone. We really do appreciate everything you guys did for us, and we hope you all had a blast at BronyCAN '13. We'll be back very soon, hopefully with info on BronyCAN '14, but for now I'm sure you'll understand if we all take a little time off. I'm behind on my writing, and that backlog of video games aren't going to play themselves.
We love you guys. See you soon!

Hi there I'm going to be attending BronyCAN this year and it will be my first MLP convention and was seeing if anyone had some advice or what I should expect for a new person attending.
Also I'm interested in seeing who will be going this year, Vincent Tong & Maryke Hendrikse (voice actors for Flash Sentry and Sonata Dusk) have been announced as the first guests attending this year which is exciting I would love if Tabitha could make it would be awesome to meet her.

Let me start by saying that I have been going to cons long beforeI was a brony, with my first convention being the San Diego Comic-Con 2000 when I was about 6. All i can say was that it was the greatest thing a six year old could ever experience, since then i have been to numerous cons. However, i hadn't been to BronyCon until January 2012 (the one at hotel Pennsylvania NYC). However, i found that most of the cosplays were awkward... there were a few really good ones though. Anyway, i want to know how your first Con experience was, pony related or not.

With BronyCAN just four months away, time to see who among us is going to be there and perhaps say hi for real.
I am going. My badge name will be the same as my Forum handle and I'll have my excuse daughter with me as well being a fangirl, so I should be pretty obvious.

So, the convention is on. What're you guys doing, like right now? Or just saw. Or just did. Or whatever. Keep us in the loop.
(I'll be back tomorrow, promise.)
My daughter and I just got hugs and autographs from Nicole Oliver! We're happy!
Also, now that I've had a chance to Google it, I am pretty certain the guy in the Big Macintosh costume that my daughter complemented for his outfit was, in fact, Peter New.

Hi, my name is Serena / Rainbowchaser and I was planning on vending at BronyCAN. I will be if no one can take over my table, but I was wondering if anyone was willing to take over my vendor's hall space. I realy want to vend and visit BronyCAN am a bit frantic preparing for PAX and moving/personal issues. If you are interested in vending, please shoot me a message at serenaokamoto@gmail.com

Most of Canada's population lives in Ontario. 2 Million of which live in Toronto so I don't see why a major convention like yourselves don't come to Toronto.
Sure there's the CANterlot convention but it isn't as official and isnt the same...

Happy New Year, everypony! 2014 is finally upon us, and the countdown to BronyCAN is now kicking into high gear with over eight months to go.

Homedogs, you cannot comprehend the noodles of awesomeness that is @Feld0. He is all goodie in the hoodie, Feld0 does not forgive, Feld0 does not forget, expect him. Feld0 is seriously dope.
Feld0 did not choose the thug life, the thug life chose Feld0.
Discuss, dawgz

Word on the street has it that Canada's first pony forum is teaming up with Canada's first pony convention...
That's right! It's my pleasure to announce that Poniverse is now officially partners with BronyCAN! We're hosting their official forum right here on MLP Forums and are placing an ad on our front page to give this wonderful convention some well-deserved exposure. In return, we'll get a similar space on their site and a full page of their con book all to ourselves.
Having met Jay and Silvershock from the BronyCAN team during my weekend at Everfree Northwest, I'm thrilled to be working with them to bring the brony community together. They have some really cool stuff planned, including a charity auction with a fun twist (which they're now seeking submissions for); and the con will be held right across town from Poniverse Home Base, so I'll be attending it both days.
See you there!

However I know that I may be able to still get a ticket at the door. but the only problem is that they may be sold out before I get one, because i won't be able to go there until Sunday. So as a precautonary, Id'e just like to know that if I am late to buying any tickets if anypony will sell me theirs so I can get in. Hopefully I'll be able to get a ticket before they sell out, but you know, just in case right?
